Merida Tanner was happy with a first grandchild on the way, a loving husband, healthy parents, and a successful brother who wasn't causing problems at the moment.

Until it wasn't. Until she was asked to lead a committee at the college. Until she was drafted into leadership in the Naked Ladies. Until the Quran went onto the 2002-2003 reading list. Until an unexpected death. Until her little brother started acting like the most domineering man-of-the-family ever. Until people she cared about were threatened. ...
Until Merida had to choose how to respond, how to step up and use her power, how to be happy all over again.
